PRESS COMMITS.

BERLIN, Feb. 23.-The National Zeitung
commenting upon the elections says
"The results as far rs known presage .
brilliant Septennist victory. The results
ascertained to-day include tweng:six
seats won from the Reichstsg majority of
January IA, while the National Liberals
have wrested from their opponents tweny
ty three districts, CT which twelve were
lost by New German Liberals, four by
Centerists, five by Socislists and two by
Democrats. The New German Liberals
have vertically suffered q crushing de-
fear'
The Nachritchten says: "If conclu-
sion can be drawn from g general sum-
mary OF the results the prospects of the
National party are decidedly favorable.
The sound sense OF the German people
has met the disgraceful experiments in
agitation of the apostles of rev.
olution with a resistance which
was evidently not expected by
the head of the opposition parties.
Accordingly along the latter there pre-
walls general disappointment. Among
the New German Liberals feeling Of in
tense dismayis plainly discerned by the
high sounding phrases Of the partysDress.
II the outcome of the elections is such as
to leave our enemies in no doubt "a to
the fact that we are determined to defend
ourselves TO the utmost for the protec-
ton of tue Fatherland, and are ready to
make ell sacrifices which the Emperor
asks, then the maintenance of peace is
perhaps secured"
1t is reported in official circles that the
Emperor will summon the Reichstag to
meet without waiting for the supplement
tary elections to be held, as soon as veri-
fed returns show the election of sufli-
Gent number OF deputies to constitute q
quorum.
THE GOVERNMENT PRESS JUBILANT.
BERLIN, Feb. 23.-The almost total an
inhalation of the Liberals Is attributed to
Herr Richter's bitter opposition to Bis
marck on every possible point and to his
venturing TO pose as military authority
against Generals Won Moltke and Won
Schillendo1f. The second ballots will be
decided early IN March to enable the
ReiChstag TO meet about the 10th of that
month. Staufenberg and Pichert have
both to submit to g second ballot. The
government press is everywhere jubilant
and predicts that the new House will be
completely submissive to the Chancellor.
The Vienna papers are waiting for more
complete returns Of the elections.
BIsMARCK's GREATEST DEFEAT.
BERLIN, Feb. 23.-The Socialist gains
in Berlin are Offset by losses in the
provinces. The party is especially
chagrined at the Imperialist successes in
Saxony, which has always been consid
cred q Socialist stronghold, but where
seven seats were lost to the Imperialists.
Bismarek's most CALLING rebuff is in
Alsace and Lorraine. 1t IS known that
he looked forward to the results there
with the keenest anxiety to see whether
the people became more reconCiled to
German rule. Taken in connection with
Prince Hohenzollern's manifesto an the
reported discovery of an extensive plot
connected with the league to defeat the
government in Alsace and Lorraine the
election is considered an i'll augury Of
peace and as likely to lead to the adop-
ton of severe measures in those prov
inces
